The Don't Tell Darlings draw their music from a deep well of old-time, bluegrass, Western swing and early country, along with a healthy dose of Ms. Millie's fine originals. Defying genres, their music can only be described as "a Depression-era mix tape". Megan and Millie's honey-sweet harmonies meet with Old Man Kelly's fiddle on fire and Lew Burrus' bass-thumping rhythm for a classic old-time instrumentation that is anything but traditional.
